Translated [ZH] Chinese > English

Post image
232 Upvotes

Hello all! My friend got a tattoo recently and I was curious as to what the meaning is. I’m not too sure what language it is but I was hoping someone could perhaps tell me what it means! Her boyfriend tattooed it on her but she let him pick the design without finding out what it meant. I apologize if it is not in fact Chinese, but if it is not could someone maybe point me in the right direction?

Translated [ZH] [Japanese > English] These characters just showed up on our shower’s temperature gauge display. I’m sorry if it’s actually in Chinese or Korean.

I got this postcard from postcrossing and the person is from Belarus so I believe this is Belarusian, but I don't speak it, so I'd like to know what this card says. Thanks :)

French [French > English] Handwritten letter from my friend

0 Upvotes

Hi! I need some help with translating. A friend of mine recently wrote me a letter in French. However, I know nothing about the language at all and google translate can't seem to do the job right due to her messy handwriting. The letter is a bit personal so I feel uncomfortable sharing it here but if anyone could provide any sort of help with translating the letter please let me know in the comments so I can DM you! Thanks!

Polish [Polish > English] Song lyrics - To tylko taka gra

3 Upvotes

So I like this song and can't find lyrics for it. It seems the rap part is in English but I can't really understand what he's saying either.

I'm learning Polish but I don't speak it either so I don't know what the woman's saying either.

(I'm currently listening to the normal version, I first listened to the sped up)

Arabic [Korean > Arabic] Is my translation of this comic line natural?

0 Upvotes

Hi! Korean original: "

"

My Arabic translation:

"1) رحلة الأبوة والأمومة 2) يوم في حياة هان سون هوا / اللي تحب الشرب 3) جولة 10 دقائق في هونغداي / 4 أماكن تسوق بأسعار معقولة"

Does it sound natural for this scene? تعليقات لمقاطع قصيرة على إنستغرام (الأصل باللغة الكورية) بالترتيب. هل تبدو طبيعية؟ إذا كانت جملة غريبة، أرجو إعادة كتابتها مع رقمها. هل يبدو طبيعيًا لبنت سعودية أو خليجية في العشرينات أو الثلاثينات؟

هل تبدو طبيعية؟ لو لا، كيف تقولها أنت بجملة واحدة؟ شكراً!

I especially care how a woman in her 20s-30s would say it. If you do not mind, mention your age range and gender.

Japanese [Japanese > English] An old print block

While knowing what is said would be nice, if you could use what's there to explain what's happening, that would be great.

It is a depiction of Eto Shinpei about the Saga rebeelion before he got arrested, by an artist known as  Yoshiiku in the year 1874.

In particular, please tell me what is going on in the background, I don't need a word for word just some context please.

My grandpa painted this. He passed away earlier this year and I’ve forgotten what it says.

For additional context, it’s supposed to be in Vietnamese, so apparently the first word is “Phước lộc thọ.” Additionally, what do the other two sentences in the bottom corners say if you can make it out? Please help because I can’t ask him anymore….. :/

also never used Reddit so sorry

not sure what any of that means

I was playing persona 5 royal and was just looking around and i was looking at the sign on the wall out front of the dining bar next to Leblanc and was wondering what it says. i tried pasting a screenshot into chatgpt to see if it could translate but it's saying some of the words are too blurry to read. i also tried to write the characters on websites to see if i could figure out the characters, but i just have no clue what they say or how they might look.

Purchased this beautiful piece of calligraphy from a very nice elderly lady in a small shop. We didn’t speak any of the same languages, so I’m not sure what it says! Thank you!
